Wanda: "Gay is the New Black"

16. Well, I don't quite think that homosexuality can be compared to hundreds of years of brutal racial injustice and it really shouldn't be because it's two seperate things but what she said was pretty funny, you can do just about anything online. LOL.

17. Playboy Adonis,

"The new black" means fashionable or a fad. Please try to understand a phrase before going on a rant. Everything doesn't revolve around the color of your skin.

18. Did anybody get what “So\'s yer momma” said? Whoa! He/she was all over the place..... You folks are hilarious! Well I put it to you this way, when you have money you can say what the F#%@ you want to say and race will have little to do with anything. Get over the race thing people. Apparently Wanda has and many of us would be a lot happier in this world if we picked our battles more appropriately. Let's focus on the important issues like how cultural attitudes and beliefs can affect a society. If you really want to know the truth, black people or even white people for that matter actually have quite a bit more in common than we give ourselves credit for. Now on the other hand those of us who have extreme religious beliefs deadly enough to change the face of our very existence....hmm now that's something worth talking about. BUT FOR SOME OF YOU I GUESS IGNORANCE IS BLISS! Cheers :)

19. to be prejudice at all..whether it is against RACE, RELIGION, GENDER..ETC..
only validates that the "name-caller" is unfortunately VERY INSECURE & IGNORANT & needs to put others down to make themselves feel adequate & good, & powerful! HOW VERY VERY SAD & PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

see Wanda's comment for what it is...utterances of a comedian..nothing more!

20. "Gay is the new black"
Wanda, you're hilarious!
And for those ofyou who actually took the joke seroiusly and turn it into a racist rant, I have three words for you: GET A LIFE. She's a comedian. That's what comedians do. They make jokes. And we're suppose to laugh at them. SO RELAX. IT'S JUST A JOKE PEOPLE.

25. I freakin love Wanda Sykes, the woman is hilarious and smart. I don't think she gets enough credit. I saw her comedy show on cable - and I was really impressed.

26. Love Wanda, she tells it like it is, and is not afraid to speak her mind!!!

and from the looks of some of the people on here, they need to be a little more afraid to speak their lack of minds

27. Why does #11 and #17 want a race war?
Please explain!

28. Because #11 and #17 have neglected their intelligence and decide to rant on a ENTERTAINMENT blog about race issues. The best thing you can do is ignore them and hope they realize how ignorant they sound.

29. I cannot stand this woman or whatever you want to call her. I didn't watch the video, she's not worth my time.

30. Yes, she is a lesbian. I saw her at Cherry Grove, Fire Island (gay resort) over Labor Day weekend of 2006 with a lady friend and two small dogs. Some of my friends were surprised. The old timers were like, "Duh, did you just crawl out of a cave?" Apparently, it's been known among those "in the know" in the lesbian community.
